Got no pics for this as everything was too good to stop and snap a pic. But just know, you should go here if you want a slightly more unique dining experience in Boston. Sit at the bar for the full experience, as the bartenders are very helpful/knowledgeable. It's a cocktail bar with amazing drinks but don't sleep on the food. It's the real deal. Salmon crudo was incredible, perfect amount of tartness. Braised lamb parpaldelle was delicious as expected, and the carbonara I believe is one of the best around. Highly recommend this spot.

I loooooved this cocktail bar. It was my first time there with a friend and we spontaneously decided to stop by. So glad we did. The Asquerosa is my favorite. A floral, flirty mezcal based cocktail! The calamari was pretty good, and I got the shrimp scampi for dinner. The jumbo shrimps were such a treat. The lighting too- not too dim not too light. Love the music… it was such a vibe. I’d definitely come here again.

Parla was a true north end experience! The place is very intimate but has so much charm to it. The staff works incredibly hard to ensure a pleasant experience. Our server cam went above and beyond to ensure that we had a 10/10 experience. The vibe of the place is upbeat as they had music playing and not the typical classical north end vibe. They were playing some jams. Food was pretty good too! We will definitely be back!

By far the best the best cocktail on the east coast, and that’s from someone who’s gone to cocktail bars all over the world. Also, the bartenders are super cool and good at their jobs. Not to mention the food is excellent. Definitely a recommendation if you want great food for a great

I had an excellent experience at Parla in assembly row!! I had heard really great things from friends about this place, and I finally decided to stop in. The drinks of course are very cool & innovative, we all rolled the dice at least once. One of the bartenders, Liam, made me a really delicious cocktail that he came up with! Overall we had an awesome time, and can’t wait to go back!

I went to Parla last week with a few friends. Liam was our server and he was amazing! Gave us so many great recommendations on drinks, and answered all of our questions. The unique cocktails were incredible and the dessert was just as good! I’d recommend Parla in Assembly to any of my friends, and I’ll definitely be coming back to see Liam and get some more food and drink recs!
